Hillary Clinton began her last day on the campaign trail vowing to 'bring the country together' and promising to try to pull down-ballot candidates over the finish line to help with her agenda.

Clinton began her final day under the wing of her campaign plane, in White Plains, New York, on Monday, where she posed for photos with law enforcement and journalists who followed her around the country chronicling her fight for the White House.

The Democratic presidential nominee planned to campaign across Pennsylvania, Michigan, leaving from Westchester County Airport. She will end the campaign with a midnight rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Her final day of campaigning comes after FBI director James Comey announced that the bureau's latest probe into Hillary Clinton's private server wouldn't lead to criminal charges.

In a rare moment on the campaign trail, Clinton took questions from the press before heading to her plane

Clinton kicked off the day by speaking about down-ballot races, in hopes of having Democrats take over the Senate and maximize chances in the House.

She said: 'We're working hard to help all of the candidates that would make a real difference in what we could get done.

'Right now we're just looking at maximizing the turnout operation and working in coordination with others candidates in both the house and the senate and governorships.

'But I'm really excited about having a chance to make all these stops today.

'The event tonight is really meaningful to me about where it is and everyone who's there.'

Before heading off in her plane on Monday, Clinton stunned reporters when she got out of her motorcade and started pointing her cell phone at her own campaign plane.

It emerged soon after that she was FaceTiming with granddaughter Charlotte, and showing her a bit about life on the campaign trail.

She then took time to pose for pictures with members of the media who had followed her campaign.

When asked if she is misunderstood as a candidate, Clinton said: 'I think I have some work to do to bring the country together, as I've been saying in these speeches in the last few days.

'I really do want to be president for everybody. People who vote for me, people who vote against me.'

She added: 'These splits, these divides that have been not only exposed but exacerbated by the campaign on the other side are ones that we really do have to bring the country together.'

Asked if her campaign has been worth it, she said:'Absolutely. I love this country and I believe in our people. We have a big agenda ahead of us but I'm excited. And think we'll get a lot done. And I do think we'll bring the country together.'

Clinton's surprise gaggle with the press was an unusual culmination to a campaign that has had the previously secluded candidate far more accessible than Donald Trump in the final hundred days of the campaign, when Trump stopped holding press conferences and Clinton started engaging the press amid a constant drip of stories about her emails.

Before the shift, it was Clinton who was getting hammered for shutting out the press.
